Viper's engine swapped B16A2 OHC - Now Turbo Charged!! - Page 11 - Team-BHP

As everyone has said, the paint jobs looks top! Please do take care of it, as I have seen way too many nice pearl finished look like rubbish after a few months!

Also, maybe its just the angle of the photograph, but the car seems to be quite raised.

Maybe paint the inside portion (behind the mesh) black so it doesnt stand out like it does in this picture.

Mother of pearl white? That is happening. I liked the wheels and the front on photo. Was not to enamoured by the side profile. Maybe if I see it in the flesh/paint/metal. Which brand of paint?

Guys,

The car was stripped down to bare metal and repainted using only Standox raw material & paints. The entire underchasis, flooring, doors, roof, pillars, speaker tray shelf underbonnet & boot area have been sprayed with Weurth Hi-Build Underbody seal which is like a spray on damping/deadner.

Car has yet to go thru with a lot of changes/mods which will include interior upholstery, electronics, suspension, brakes, engine swap, exhaust etc. Will keep updating as & when each process is complete.

Am targetting total completion of all the above items in approx a month from today.

err engine swap, then IMHO you should have got your self a 1.3 why did you get a Vtec, I mean any other variant would have been cheaper right?

umm....wouldn't it have been better to do the paint job after all this!

@Techno - This is Viper we are talking about here. You really don't have to worry about him and finding deals!

Rt,

I agree but the problem was car was idle for 12 days while I was away on vacation. WOuld not get a better opportunity for painting and chance to keep car spare for so long. Will also implement your suggestion about painting the inner portion of front bumper black after the whole list is done with. Might have to send the car back for some minor touch ups after so many people working on it.

@ Techno - long story. These mods were planned for 2008 but thanks to lady luck happened to get access to funds earlier.

Viper where did you get this done?
How long did it take?
What did it cost?
Does one have to strip the car down to bare metal to do this?

mobike008 · 18th May 2007, 17:22

Really nice paint job. But, IMHO, OHC does not look that good in white

Technocrat · 18th May 2007, 17:23

@rtech: hehe now I know

@Viper: Oh ok that explains it.

GTO · 18th May 2007, 17:43

White is one of the best colours for the Vtec. Looks good! What size alloys and rubber?

GTO, Make that OHC, Baleno, Mercedes (esp C class), etc... the colour Viper has got is no nice I think most cars would look good in it especially the body styles that are have a higher length to height ratio.
